I have just become the lucky recipient of two cases of mounted butterflies from a very old collection. I have been able to identify only a few of them (Blue morpho and Great orange tip). Could you please let me know what the others are?
Signature: Thanks! Kelli

Hi again Kelli,
The palid white moth with the tailed underwings is a Luna Moth, arguably the most elegant and ethereal Giant Silk Moth in North America.
